Election is around the corner and immigration takes the centre stage, its the same in every EU country not just the UK.

You think UAE or Singapore will fair better than the UK in terms of attitude towards immigration?

UAE is horrible especially to unskilled workers.

Singapore is actually better than UK in terms of immigration

justwise:
Hmmm not sure about that but I think sometimes we expect too much from host the country

No, I have always been looking towards UAE and singapore because my target industry has more presence there, but then listen to UKIP, Theresa May etc. They absolutely hate students and foreigners.

worry359:
Because a good certificate from a British school can help to get a well paid job in many places.
Unlike many other countries education establishments.
What is a certificate from Nigeria worth?

Most.countries prefer degrees from their education system, it helps stimulate income from education tourism. It also helps them attract and keep talents.
Unfortunately the UK doesn't subscribe to.that line of thought anymore.

justwise:
regretting your decision now?

Not really, the education is wonderful but I should have gone to the US or Canada, they are more friendly to aliens.

Imagine Theresa May wants to even take away the six months extra on tier 4 visass.

I wonder why anyone wants to study in England?

Please move this to the front page @Seun discovery air is horrible. My wife is stranded right now and there's no staff at their stand in Lagos.

chibabe3:
Thank God for protecting Nigerians and all this criminal activities will soon come to an end, our prayers are being heard.

Your god probably hates the ones that died today in Gombe.

Let's kick out all forms of religion from Nigeria. Religion is evil including Christianity.

andromida:
You sound nice but you know too much of anything can become a bad thing and sometimes the attraction just dies it's not your fault and there is nothing you can do. Its not because you are not a jerk maybe she is not feeling you anymore. If you have to act like a jerk before a woman likes you then she does not really like you she likes the act you are putting on and how long do you plan to keep up the act? See why it's best to be yourself?
I'm
If she likes bad boys, you may have to leave her so she can find what she is looking for and you can find someone who appreciates what you have to offer.

Never listen to a woman's advice on women!

I hope there will be a comprehensive accident investigation so this never happens again.

Oh! I forgot this is Nigeria where human lives do no mean anything. RIP to the dead

ITbomb:
I disagree on Civil engineering
Though most of the Supervisory role may be occupied by foreigners, almost all Assistant supervisor or foremen roles are handled by Nigerians most of them civil engineers.

For Security guards, I see an increase instead of decrease

Finally, you erroneously equated farmers with labourers, Farming profession has taken a new level in Nigeria.
While unskilled labourers will always be needed not only in farming but construction etc. So as Nigerians are moving from unskilled to semi skilled / skilled hands, there might be need to import labourers but farming as a professional business will be getting more and more appealing especially when GEJ wins next year election

Is a foreman an engineer?

davide470:
Not quite. Production quota are still being maintained.

If new projects are not being developed where will the new guys fit? BP has announced plans to layoff 4000, same with Halliburton 1000.

Redundant staff are being let go.

sorbentcrooner:
Well, I think money raised for the fund = #(40000 - 16800) = #23200.
From the total money ganerned from the lottery, part (#16800) was raised as fund while the reminants was raised as funds.
Tnks.

Tnks.

Very true, I failed that bit. Thanks

Mekyno:

Baby, sent ur applicatn to indigineous oil firms n apply 4 intern/ volunteer work in big oil servicing firm. Google d firms. Learn a skill dat has practical relevance to oil n gas.
Dnt forget to b spiritually strong always.
Gudluck.

The reality is that the industry is laying off with the fall in oil prices

diddy62:
justwise please is it possible I stay in the uk after my masters ?

Depends on your course of study and research in your msc. If both were relevant you can get a Ph.D opportunity with sponsorship as high as £38000 to extend your stay.

We need to investigate this and find out if even moderate consumption of this drink has detrimental health implications.

pls help with this.......In a fund-raising lottery,42% of the money collected is given as cash prizes. there are eight cash prizes altogether . the first prize winner gets #3500, the second gets #3100, the third #2700, and so on in arithmetic progression.
a. How much money does the eight get?
b. How much price money is there all together?
c. How much money is raised for fund?

I
A. The eight person gets a + 7d

Where a is the first term and D is the arithmetic difference between successive terms.

D = 3100 - 3500 = - 400

Note that it is negative because the numbers are decreasing.

Hence Term 8 = 3500 - 2800 = 700

I'll solve C before B

C. Is sum of the a.P, Sn=N/2(a+l)

Where n is number of terms which is 8
A is the first term 3500 and l is last term is 700.

Sn= 8/2(3500+700) =
4(4200) = 16800.

B. If 42% of total money is
16800

0.42X =16800
X =16800/0.42 = 40000


I hope this helps

The dudes that brought violence into education

Urine:
Lool. PTDF guys are still better...NDDC folks are worse.

How will nigeria get better with this rubbish?

Engineers that cannot balance simple chemical equations.

The PTDF scholars in my school are absolutely dumb, because most of them didn't merit the scholarship.

So a whole total scholarship is using a Hotmail hosted email address. Scammers in high places

Unfortunately salaries will remain the same

RIP Micheal Jackson. You are a legend

saudatu:
BRO WHY NOW! YOU JUST DO UR THING I PRY TO GOD. COS AS WE ARE LAMENTING THAT NIGERIA IS BAD SOME PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE MAKING THEIR MILLIONS ........

That there are rich people does not mean that nigeria is prosperous.

any morning I wake and remember I'm Nigerian, I intuitively know it's going to be a horrible day.

Naira just devalued massively. University adminstrators are complaining that schools are under funded and the best thing this inept, corrupt governor can do is to slash school fees by 20%.

How is this going to help the education system? Why not give out student loans instead? why not pump in money to our universities and fund research programs?

Clueless idiots!! It's 2015 and suddenly every politician is pretending like they understand how we, the commoners feel. Fvcking hypocrites!!!

A poor guy stands at the right corner at the wrong time (say after a robbery) he goes to jail for a very long time.

An IGP violates the constitution he swore to protect , he gets a slap on his wrist, goes to jail for a few years and comes back to still live in opulence.

Nigeria is hopeless

lastmessenger:
The way people are shouting because of the blast. I don't understand it again. Like this one is worse than all the way churches they have been bombing.
You need to see how they starved children of Ndi Igbo to death during Biafra war.
Anyway sorry to the little boy sha. His parents should come na

Don't bring in tribal sentiments here please. This a child we are talking about. God!! What is wrong with us as a race? Humans are irredeemable.

No child black,white, green,yellow,Muslim,Christian, or atheist deserves this.

I am pained in my heart

lastpage:
And what do you think will or can happen, if and when Nigeria has a disagreement with Niger Republic?

You dont think it is foolish to put such a "strategic power" in the hand of unpredictable neighbours?

Let us learn from what happened to Russia, concerning the buying and building of its Mistral Warship from France.

That Ship was paid for, was built for Russia, Russian Seamen have trained on it and a delivery date has been set..... until Russia and France /E.U had a disagreement over Ukraine.

France simply REFUSED to DELIVER THE WARSHIP!

REASON: It is dangerous to sell such advance warship to Russia, which it might use against us in-case war breaks out over Ukraine!

When it comes to items that border on "National Security" (Power, Weapons, Water, e.t.c), even if it is not economical, you still dont hand it over to foreigners!

When asked why Britain is not building its Warship from France, who seems a specialist in such items, British PM replied: It is a matter of "National Security".
When furhter probed on why Britain is not selling Warships to Russia, like France, He replied: There are technology that we own and are proprietory to us! We wont share such technology.

I guess it is only in Nigeria that isuses like national Security starts and ends with chasing Political opponents!

I hail o!

With the rate of vandalism in nigeria and our poor maintenance skills, I as.an engineer will rather build any pipe as short as reasonably possible. In this case Niger is nearer and also economically cheaper.

The best alternative is not to build such infrastructure in the North. It's too dangerous up there, the risks are far too great.

Lacomb:
The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, who signed the contracts on behalf of the government, said the proposed power project was highly innovative as its promoter, Strancton, working with Katsina State, would use gas from Niger Republic to fire the plant.

What is wrong with this Govt? Gas is been flared in nigeria, then we go ahead to get same gas from Niger Republic,or are they giving us the gass for free?

Niger is closer to Katsina. Building a gas pipeline network from Niger delta to the north, makes no economic sense.

biodunid:
Exporting What We Don't Produce and Importing What we Flare Since 1960!

Following the bright idea of bringing in refined oil products from Niger we now move on to importing natural gas from Niger while we continue flaring gas in the Delta and leaving gas in the ground. Such progress under GEJnomics! Yet even this is touted as a policy success!

At least the North is weaning itself off moribund naija. It has its own army (cJTF), its regional economic and energy linkages and its emirs rule kingdoms that span beyond naija. I hope Tinubu and his boys are learning how it is done.

We need an LNG regassifier at Egbin and all along the SW coast to deliver the more than 20,000MW the SW needs for prosperity. We need to accelerate development of the LEKOIL field and Aje even as we need to accelerate exploration on and offshore the SW. Ondo fields need to be optimally exploited. Bitumen can't be allowed to waste any longer. Oodua moneybags should pour their billions into these areas.

The bluff of the ND should be called and we should be the ones to propose the amicable break up of what was the Blackman's best hope for redemption. We can restart from zero and ally with like minded people in Bendel, Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana etc if we think we need scale. All we have gotten for five decades from being part of this nation has been abuse and retardation. We should leave oil and governance to those who believe they own both.

All these projects when crude oil is now $78 perr barrel

They should stop supporting our corrupt African leaders by give me the free money is the name of aids. Deny our leaders visas not us,the victims of their wickedness.

Give Africans scholarships to come and research Ebola in your good schools. So we can end this Ebola once and for all.

Teach us how to fish, do not give us fish. I am so depressed about the condition of Africa in general.

Are we cursed or are we the cause?
